Church Recycles Halloween Costumes

Most American children look forward to wearing a costume and trick-or-treating on Halloween. For parents, the costs of this one day event add up fast. A member of Hendersonville First United Methodist Church in Tennessee started the Nashville Costumes for Kiddos Project. The program collects gently used costumes and distributes them to families in shelters and after-school programs. It’s a simple idea backed by a Sunday school class that wanted to make an impact in the community.
